The morning brought an early start, as Cape Hillsborough is renowned for its wallabies on the beach at sunrise. So I dutifully set an alarm and then managed to wake all the troops for our early morning adventure. As we left our campsite daylight was barely breaking and I did question my sanity as to…

It was a crisp morning start in the mountains when we woke up, but master chef Chris and sous-chef Jasmine delivered a delicious brekkie of bacon & egg rolls for everyone. Jazzy is so interested in helping Chris cook the BBQ every time there is an opportunity. The creek looked beautiful but chilly this morning.…

Another morning waking up in paradise! The tide was high and it meant no walking on the beach in the morning, but there was plenty to see and do anyway. Jazzy and I noticed the pelicans all gathered on the sand waiting to go in the water. It was like they were lined up to…
-
What a glorious place to wake up! The older girls and I managed to jump out of the van without waking the oldest and youngest members of the family and we enjoyed a lovely stroll along the beach. So relaxing… Then back at camp it was breakfast and work/homework time while we waited for the…

The morning was a fairly swift dash to get out of the door at the same time as our fabulous hosts. Thank you again to Ross, Amanda, Samantha and Charlotte for hosting us! After a quick stop to run some errands and of course collect flower petals we were back on the Bruce Highway. It’s…

We were lucky enough to be treated like royalty in the morning with all the breakfast options we could imagine and hospitality all around! On our way to Rockhampton zoo we made a stop at Charlotte’s work for some delicious milkshakes, coffee and babycino and the highlight for the girls was seeing Charlotte at the…

We had a slow morning at 1770 packing up at our own pace and enjoying a nice morning stroll along the beach. We were so fortunate to see some black cockatoos when we got back to the caravan park. Jazzy and Izzy were doing laps around the campsite on the scooters while Chris and I…

My favourite part of the day is always hearing the shuffles from over the bunk beds followed by nice cuddles in bed with the whole family. Scarly has finally settled a bit at night too and isn’t doing any more 360 turning at night in our bed. Unfortunately the morning brought – yep, you guessed…

Everyone had a good sleep and the day started with some positive vibes. Packing up in dry weather also lifted the mood immensely! The girls entertained themselves with songs and selfies in the car while Chris and I did the usual van/car prep and of course lunchbox packing. It doesn’t matter how much breakfast the…

I don’t think the day could have started any wetter than it did, which makes packing up and moving on so much harder. At least we had the big camp kitchen to keep the kids dry while Chris and I packed up and got ready to hit the road. A real low was stepping onto…

It was a very early start to the day in anticipation of feeding the dolphins at Tin Can Bay. We grabbed a quick bite before getting to Barnacles Dolphin Feeding for 7am. The lovely volunteers checked everyone in and shared lots of information about the Australian Humpback Dolphins while we patiently waited for more of the…

We’re officially into week 2 of our trip! The first week has both flown past and has felt like an eternity. Time is a funny thing! With all our clean washing and renewed energy for van life we left Brisbane heading north. We had our eyes set on Tin Can Bay and Rainbow Beach as…

Happy Mother’s Day to me! Nothing like starting the day with kids fighting at 5.30am (keeping it real is a theme on this trip), but hopefully it meant the day could only get better from here and it did. I was lucky enough to have yummy brekkie cooked for me by all the crew. Thanks gang! I…

Today started with yet more rain so we were strategic with packing up inbetween bouts of downpour. We’re definitely getting more efficient and the rain helps speed the process up in that way also… We were able to catch up with our friend Lucy for brekkie briefly, but then didn’t really get a chance to…

Well the rain didn’t hold back last night and whilst it was quite relaxing sleeping with the sound of the rain, it made for crammed living conditions last night and this morning. We were extremely lucky to have a break in the weather for long enough to pack up. The kids even used this packing…
